Real?[edit]

is this actually a real picture/photo of planet uranus? i thought this planet was a different color. also if this is a real picutre im certain its not the best one to use because theres no details of the planet in this photo. i know that its a gas planet but even jupitor and neptune have permanent weather storms going on due to the tempurature diffrences between night and day that the convection curents casue really big weather paterns. if im to bielve this is a most detailed photo of uranus then certainly im also to beilve that theres no significant wheather patterns observable from space. we also had a probe visit this planet in 1986 certainly that probe seen a more distinguishing photo to send back. this picture here looks like a hubble space teleshope image. in the case of Uranus we should use the voyager space probe pictures even though there nearly 30 years old becasue there are more detailed. does anyone else have any issues with this photo of uranus? 76.244.151.164 (talk) 12:07, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the description of this photo, you'll see that this is a photo taken by Voyager. In visible light, Uranus simply looks really, really boring. There are sometimes storm systems visible in the infrared, but that's not the point of this picture.--Steuard (talk) 19:14, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
